What potential pitfalls should be considered when saving cURL cookies in a MySQL database?
When saving cURL cookies in a MySQL database, potential pitfalls to consider include ensuring proper encoding of cookie values to prevent SQL injection attacks, handling potential conflicts with existing cookies, and maintaining data integrity by properly structuring the database schema to store cookies efficiently.
// Example PHP code snippet to save cURL cookies in a MySQL database
// Assuming $cookieName and $cookieValue are the variables containing the cookie name and value obtained from cURL response
// Sanitize cookie values to prevent SQL injection
$cookieName = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $cookieName);
$cookieValue = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $cookieValue);
// Insert the cookie into the database
$query = "INSERT INTO cookies (name, value) VALUES ('$cookieName', '$cookieValue')";
mysqli_query($conn, $query);
